15 ways to preserve water
# Don't rinse dishes before loading them in the dishwasher--just scrape them and let your dishwasher do the work it was designed to do.
# Place a jug of water in the refrigerator for cold drinking water rather than letting the water run until it's cold.
# When washing dishes by hand, fill the basin rather than leaving the tap on and washing dishes under a steady flow of water.
# Replace your old shower head with a low-flow fixture.
# Limit showers to 10 minutes.
# Test your toilets to find out if they're leaking, and if they are, make any necessary repairs. A leaky toilet can waste 200 gallons of water daily.
# Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth and shaving, and you'll save more than 200 gallons of water each month.
# Likewise, if possible, turn the tap off while lathering when you're washing your hands, and you'll save nearly a gallon of water with each hand-washing.
# Invest in a high-efficiency washing machine. They use less than half the water of many traditional models.
# Presoak heavily soiled clothing in a basin rather than using the heavy-duty cycle.
# Wash only full loads of laundry; the same amount of water is used whether the load is full or half full.
# Regularly check any garden hoses for leaks.
# Water your lawn less. Most lawns only need to be water twice a week in the summer.
# Collect rainwater for watering your garden

Some always seek the rational mind
Some will appeal to faith that’s blind
If you turn within, you’ll surely find
Both paths will lead further behind.
Alike for those who for TO-DAY prepare,
And those that after a TO-MORROW stare,
A Muezzin from the Tower of Darkness cries
"Fools! your Reward is neither Here nor There

Quotes on Poverty by Mother Teresa
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
Loneliness is the most terrible poverty.
Mother Teresa

Poor public governance behind India's ills: Murthy - The Economic Times
Poor-public-governance-behind-Indias-ills-Murthy
63 years after independence, 35 crore Indians can't read and write, and the country has the largest mass of malnourished children. Twenty-five crore people do not have access to safe drinking water, while 75 crore have no access to sanitation facilities.
"35 per cent of (total production of) grains are allowed to rot", the Chief Mentor of Infosys Technologies Ltd said at the inaugural function of first year BE/B.Arch classes at the BMS College of Engineering here.
He said India has an installed electricity generation capacity of 145 gigawatts but only 84 gigawatts are available, which is "sadly a shame".
"Lot of it is due to poor (public) governance. There is no doubt about it", Murthy said
